Add a remote control switch for your inverter

Your inverter draws somewhere around 1.5 amps when on since it runs various parasitic loads including the instant-on feature of your TV. That can eat up a lot of power when boondocking and left on all night. If your inverter is in the far end of your coach or in a not-easily-accessed location to turn it off, install an off/on switch next to your bed that you can turn off after watching TV. Run a pair wires (24 gauge will do) from the switch to the inverter and connect in parallel into the inverter's front switch.
